A StoryCorps Bonus: The Making of “A More Perfect Union”

Join animators Mike and Tim Rauch and producer Maya Millett as they travel to Greensboro, Alabama to meet Theresa Burroughs – the indomitable and indefatigable founder of the Safe House Museum and a civil rights champion.

Burroughs originally recorded her story when the StoryCorps MobileBooth stopped in Tuscaloosa. Inside the booth with her daughter, Toni Love, she recounted her struggle to register to vote in rural 1940s Alabama.

Our new behind-the-scenes short is an exceptional encounter with an extraordinary woman and a rare look into the making of a StoryCorps Animated Short.
